No information |
Beach is sandy in some areas, pebbles in others. Some larger rocks. The power line and rose bushes near the high tide line means you will want to launch/land near low tide if possible. (The water will get very close to the bushes at high tide.) Not overly crowded even on a summer weekend. A beautiful bay, but cold.
